Structured Array Hardware for Automatically Realized Applications (SAHARA)
Abstract
The Structured Array Hardware for Automatically Realized Applications (SAHARA) program developed technology for the secure development of custom chips for defense systems. Current DoD systems often employ field-programmable gate array (FPGAs), whose flexibility advantages are offset by lower performance. Structured application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) deliver significantly higher performance and lower power consumption, which makes them an efficient and effective alternative to FPGAs for defense electronic systems. Manually converting FPGAs to structured ASICs, however, is a complex, lengthy, and costly process. SAHARA developed automated technologies to reduce design time, optimize performance, and minimize the power dissipated by the secure, structured ASIC.
